Its raining tonight. It is such a nice sound. ^ ^

I thought the weather felt a little strange. Are you familiar with the term, earthquake weather? That's what it felt like--like there was a dull excitement floating through the air. The temperature was perfect, it wasn't hot or cold, it was just "dead". Like walking through luke-warm water.

And we did actually have an earthquake, although those are nearly a weekly occurrence, so I can't say for a fact the weather was any correlation. There was just an odd tension mixed with a euphoric peace--like the feeling you get when in love.

It is going to continue to rain throughout the weekend. That makes me really happy. :) I love the rain. I understand it better than the sun. I feel like I belong with the rain. In the sun I dry out, I can't open my eyes because it is too bright. I wilt. The rain revitalizes me. It brings me comfort, like a blanket surrounding the earth. The sky is too big without clouds. I feel lost when the sky is so wide.

I finished the drama Nodame Cantable today, and ahhh, it makes me wish I played an instrument. Although, the pattering of my fingers on the computer keys feels like playing a piano. I always thought the little pitter pat of the keys was a relaxing sound. It puts me in a kind of trance. Probably because it reminds me of writing, something I love to do.

I can play my vocal cords, does that count? Sadly, I am not dedicated enough for an instrument other that my own voice (and even that stretches my determination). Oh well. If I did play an instrument I would love to play the koto. I like actually touching an instrument with my fingers.

I had to leave early from school today. I was very sick and in pain, and I wouldn't have gone at all if I didn't have an important class to teach. The girls at the school were so nice to me though. One got me a hot water thingy to put on my stomach, and they kept asking if I were alright. The principle too was really nice. I was supposed to wait until lunch started to leave according to my company, and he was like essentially "whatever they don't know doesn't hurt them". Even though by that time it ended up I left essentially five minutes before that time, it still made me happy.

I got to talk to Robby today too, that was nice and made me feel a little better. ^ ^ Every time I talk with him my heart is refilled just a little more. I thought it might make things worse, talking often, but it does help, a lot. I can't explain why it does it just does.

Man the rain sounds wonderful. I should close my door, but I don't want to. There must be something deep within me that makes me love the rain so much. It has always been a comfort to me.

See you~
